< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT STR
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000005530130

The Supplemental Restraint System such as AIR BAG and SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. D
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING: E
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
F
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this G
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS H
WARNING:
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a I
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the J
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Power Generation Variable Voltage Control System INFOID:0000000005276047

K
CAUTION:
For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the negative battery cable measures the
charging/discharging current of the battery and performs various engine controls. If an electrical com-
L
ponent is connected directly to the negative battery terminal, the current flowing through that compo-
nent will not be measured by the battery current sensor. This condition may cause a malfunction of
the engine control system and battery discharge may occur. Do not connect an electrical component
or ground wire directly to the battery terminal. M

 DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
< BASIC INSPECTION >
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter motor and generator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.
1.DIAGNOSIS WITH MULTITASKING BATTERY DIAGNOSTIC STATION
Perform the starting system test with multitasking battery diagnostic station. For details and operating instruc-
tions, refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
Test result
CRANKING NORMAL>>GO TO 2
LOW VOLTAGE>>GO TO 5
CHARGE BATTERY>>Perform the slow battery charging procedure. (Initial rate of charge is 10A for 12
hours.) Perform battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual.
REPLACE BATTERY>>Before replacing battery, clean the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Perform
battery test again. Refer to diagnostic station instruction manual. If second test result is
REPLACE BATTERY, then do so. Perform battery test again to confirm repair.
2.CRANKING CHECK
Check that the starter motor operates properly.
Does the engine crank normally?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> GO TO 4
3.ENGINE START CHECK
Check that the engine starts.
Does the engine start?
YES >> Starter motor is OK. Inspection End.
NO >> Perform further diagnosis of engine mechanical or engine control system. Refer to EM and EC
sections. Once resolved, perform battery test again.
4.STARTER MOTOR ACTIVATION
Check that the starter motor operates.
Does the starter motor turn?
YES >> Check ring gear and starter motor drive pinion. Once resolved, perform battery test again.
NO >> GO TO 7
5.COMPARISON BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND CRANKING VOLTAGE
Compare the engine coolant temperature and verify the cranking voltage is within specification.
Minimum Specification of Cranking Voltage Referencing Coolant Temperature
Engine coolant temperature [C (F)] Voltage [V]
30 to 20 (22 to 4) 8.6
19 to 10 (2 to 14) 9.1
9 to 0 (16 to 32) 9.5
More than 1 (More than 34) 9.9
Is the voltage less than the specified value?
YES >> GO TO 7
NO >> GO TO 6
6.STARTER OPERATION
Check the starter operation.
Does the starter motor turn smoothly?
YES >> Starter motor is OK. Inspection End.
NO >> GO TO 7
7.B TERMINAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Check B terminal circuit. Refer to STR-13, "Diagnosis Procedure".
Is B terminal circuit normal?

Revision: October 2009 STR-6 2010 Frontier

 DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
